Pressure Pole
« on: August 05, 2023, 06:39:37 pm »
Which brand and size of pole is the most versatile for domestic upto 3 storey work. I presume I need a carbon pole such as the ova8 or extreme. Do you use the same pole for pressure work as you would for, say, brushing on chem for soft washing.

We have an slx 30 and tbh I find it fine. Lot of differing reports on here about it being very hard to control etc before I bought it but its OK.  Obviously takes bit of controlling at 3 storeys defo but for up to 2 storeys I find it fine and the odd time I need to use it at 3 storeys it's grand.  I use it for washing some fscs and rinsing after softwashing generally.

Was thinking about apex of barge boards. Lower pressure to replace agitation removing chems. I have seen facias/outside gutters being turbo'd. I havent tried it yet but its on my "to mess about with" list. Also I have hot to offset pressure/ flow.

From your reply it seems it may be wishful thinking on my part.

There is very few things right or wrong - crazy maybe - fair play if you can really hold up a pole 3 storeys and pressure wash effectively then (IMO) your super human ive used a long pole unto 20 ft horizontally and thats difficult enough - never mind vertical for s/f/g - the pressure would have to be so low its not worth the effort - better cleaning WFP

but as the other posts people are doing it - if its getting the results then carry on....
